Grading (Online Grade Posting)

Online grading allows faculty and departments to submit grades from anywhere with an Internet connection. Grade rosters display up-to-date enrollment information, e.g., late adds and "W" grades.  Completed grade rosters are available for viewing on the web indefinitely.  Primary instructors can authorize others, including administrative assistants and T.A.s, to assist with grading.

Security Access Information

After completion of the FERPA Review, full grading security access is automatically granted to primary instructors who can then delegate security access to others who may assist them in the grading process. No special forms are needed. Work with the scheduling contact within your department, if you are unsure you are indicated as the primary instructor.

To delegate grading access to others, go to the Campus Information Services and under the Faculty section, select the “Delegate Class/Grading Security” tile.

Employees/Staff who need to view, save, or post grades for several faculty members within a college or department may be granted access by their department official who can verify eligibility by using the E-Grading Security Authorization form.

If you have read the information above and still need to fill out the security access form, proceed to the online FERPA Review.  The form will be available after completing the FERPA Review.

Per University Policy 6-100, when no grade is entered by the grading deadline for any student listed on the final grade roster, the Registrar shall record an “EU” for that student. If this occurs, see “change a final grade’ section below on how to change the grade from EU to another grade.

If the faculty/staff is attempting to submit an initial grade (meaning no other grade is currently in place) or they are attempting to change an “I” or a “T” grade to another grade (ex. A, B+, CR, etc.), they may continue to send the below information in the table filled out for each student in separate emails via UMail directly to grades@utah.edu.

Reason for report of credit/change in final grade:

 

If a change of a final grade is requested (ex. changing a D to an A, or an EU to a T) then the request must first be approved by the chair of their department and the email sent directly from the department chair. For that to occur, the faculty/staff emails their department chair with the below information in the table filled out for each student in separate emails via UMail. The department chair must then verify that they approve the change/request. They can then forward that to the grades@utah.edu inbox noting clearly their approval in the email they send. 

Note on change request: This is in line with the paper-based form and process in place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that requires the department signature to make changes of this type.

If a grade change request is submitted from an email other than UMail, or the information listed in the table is incomplete/inaccurate, the request will not be processed. There can only be one student/class per email request, for FERPA compliant record retention.

We will also continue to accept physical Report of Credit/Change in Final Grade forms, if that is a preferable alternative for your department.
